Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys (1996-1997) is an animated sci-fi series focusing on the exploits of a rag-tag crew of an interplanetary ship composed entirely of monkeys from Earth. They have been transformed into anthropomorphic, intelligent versions of themselves by the Applied Phlebotinum of the " ", a mysterious race of benevolent aliens whose name can't be spoken or written, only thought. The sworn enemy of the " " and the Space Monkeys is Lord Nebula, an immensely powerful being who wants to destroy the universe and recreate it in his own image. Nebula's second-in-command is Rhesus-2, a rhesus monkey whom he turned into a Cyborg with several interchangeable brains. Sadly, it was canceled after one season. |

Future Self Reveal |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_1d54b441 |
comment |
Future Self Reveal: Towards the series' end, the crew encounter a powerful time-traveller named Mandrax the Mandrill, who takes it upon himself to become something of a Trickster Mentor, much to the annoyance of the Monkeys. However, his vague hints and riddles do help inspire Captain Simian to come up with a plan that ultimately stops Nebula's evil plan and finally captures him. As the Space Monkeys fly off in search of more adventures, the now wiser Captain Simian explains Mandrax needed to be obtuse to prevent Nebula from figuring out what was happening and stopping it. Simian then laments that he won't get a chance to thank Mandrax. Cue a final shot of Mandrax standing out in space watching the Primate Avenger blast off, only to suddenly transform from a mandrill into an older Captain Simian, smiling wistfully before winking at the camera. |

Dream Apocalypse |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_2bc48235 |
comment |
Dream Apocalypse: Played with. The crew and some villains find a crack in a wall where you can whisper anything you want and it will appear, but are warned by a guardian that it is really the ear of a sleeping giant who dreams the universe. Not believing this, they end up wishing for bigger and better weapons as they fight, only to actually wake the giant up, which causes the universe to start to disintegrate until they manage to make him sleep again with a Techno Babble 'lullaby'. However, in the end, appropriately enough, the whole episode is implied to be All Just a Dream. |

You Have Failed Me: Rhesus-2 occasionally pulls this on his own brain by admonishing it for being ineffectual and shooting it before replacing it with a new brain. It's also done to him at one point, when Lord Nebula forcibly plugs his original brain (containing the agonizing memories of his cybernetic conversion) into his skull when he botches a mission. |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: Spydor, Gor, and Dr Splitz/Splitzy hold this view, due to varying levels of cruelty they received from humans in the past. Captain Simian and Shao Lin, who had far more pleasant experiences with humans, don't share this mindset. |

"What Do They Fear?" Episode: The main point of the episode "Mind Over Monkey", where Rhesus-2 sends a bomb to the Primate Avenger and delays the Space Monkeys' efforts to stop it from exploding by distracting them with illusions of their worst fears. Spydor is afraid of pit bulls, Gor-illa is afraid of forest fires, Splitzy is afraid of being locked in a cage, Shao Lin is afraid of being forcefully taken from those she cares about, and Captain Simian's worst fear is letting his team down by being killed in action. |

Parental Bonus |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_86daf505 |
comment |
Parental Bonus: In "Little House on the Primate", Shao Lin talks to Captain Simian about how play is useful in relieving tension and states that she doesn't play before swinging off. Simian then remarks that Shao Lin can use some tension relief in a way clearly referring to lovemaking. The subplot of the Orbitron falling in love with the Bananatron has the Orbitron give a couple of suggestive lines. When Captain Simian asks about making contact with the sentient plants, the Orbitron answers that he's trying before Simian clarifies that's not the kind of contact he meant. Later, when Captain Simian says his recurring line of having to remember to get the Orbitron fixed, the Orbitron replies with "Don't even think about it". |

Kirk as a chimpanzee, a scheming kleptomaniacal spider-monkey prone to get-rich-quick schemes, a golden monkey who never quite grows entirely out of the arrogance that comes from being a martial arts master who used to be considered an incarnate goddess, an orangutan with a split personality that sets him between a stuffy professor and a Southern US-accented hick grease-monkey, and a simple-minded gorilla with a massively destructive temper. |

| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_93773e14 |
comment |
Transformation Trauma: Quite literally so; Rhesus-2's memories of actually undergoing his cyber-conversion are so traumatic, due to the intense agony they involved, that they render him nearly catatonic should he be unfortunate enough to plug-in his original brain. Even with his other brains, he retains enough subconscious recollections to make the memories his worst nightmare. |

Evil Counterpart |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_9b54d536 |
comment |
Evil Counterpart: Rhesus-2 to the Space Monkeys, especially Captain Simian. He shares Captain Simian's origin of being an ordinary monkey launched into space as a test pilot for an experimental rocket (though from the Earth-paralleling world of Terrestria) and being upgraded by an alien that intercepted him on his one way trip. He shares Dr. Splitz/Splitzy's combination of high intelligence & techno-wizardry with a less than conventional approach to science. He shares Spydor's love of fast-talking, albeit in the form of bad puns and cheesy action liners. And, like Shao Lin and Gor, he's a deadly combatant, if focused on blasting stuff over fisticuffs. |

Shout-Out |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The series references many famous Science Fiction films and series, including: Alien Plan 9 from Outer Space And, inevitably, Planet of the Apes. The holo-boons also parody many famous characters and people. "Gormongus", in particular, features a holo-boon who impersonates Jerry Lewis, while "Lawnmower Ape" features a pair of holo-boons who resemble and act like the title characters of Beavis And Butthead. In the first episode, when Gor accidentally crushes him, Orbitron garbles a few lines of "Bicycle Built For Two," a la HAL. When Simian was trying to convince Shao Lin to take the portal to Earth, he paraphrased the "hill of beans" speech from Casablanca. Then there's this little gem from the episode "The Monkey Has Landed": In "Surf Monkeys Must Dive" (one of many Shout-Out titles), Splitzy says the planet they're on "is gonna blow up real good!" "Invasion of the Banana Snatchers" Orbitron at one point exclaims "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream!" When freed from the banana-thing imprisoning him, Spydor comments that he dreamed of asking people to help him get home and all they did was give him ruby slippers. |

Turned Against Their Masters: A multi-level one in "Apes of Wrath": Rhesus-2 sabotages the Holoboon Generator aboard the Primate Avenger in order to slip the Space Monkeys a device imprinted with his brainwave engrams, causing the holoboons to turn on the Space Monkeys. He did so in order to use the holoboons as an invincible army to help him turn against Lord Nebula. But the holoboons then turn on him under the command of Holoboon #3462-83B. And then Captain Simian manages to slip his brainwave engrams into the holoboon generator, allowing him to subvert the holoboons back from Holoboon #3462-83B's command. |

Distracted by the Sexy |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_f10d3363 |
comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: More of a straight and deliberate example here. In "Apes of Wrath", Shao Lin purposefully uses the fact she is a female to distract a bunch of rogue Holoboons, before going wild on them. |

Being Human Sucks |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_f15e3d6 |
comment |
Being Half-Human Sucks: For Nebula, at least. After being dropped down a few levels in power after the two part opener, he is now susceptible to human maladies, from the common cold to indigestion. |

comment |
Expospeak Gag: Dr. Splitz/Splitzy is this trope. Quite often, Dr. Splitz would say something in an overly complicated manner, with his Splitzy persona then describing the same thing in much simpler vernacular. |

Voices Are Mental: Averted in "Escape from the Plant of the Apes". Captain Simian and Shao Lin swap minds in the episode, but are still played by their regular voice actors, who imitate each other's vocal mannerisms. |

Running Gag |
| | Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys / int_f9f2c33 |
comment |
Running Gag: Because the " " are always referred to with abrupt silence taking place of where their species' name would have been spoken, nearly every mention of them is met with another character saying "The who?" Every time the Orbitron goes into an odd ramble, Captain Simian remarks, "Gotta get that thing fixed." Simian tends to say, "Check. It's a ______ thing," in response to another character explaining why they're doing what they're doing. Characters frequently refer to something, most commonly music playing, as "Strangely soothing." "And of course, cheese." Nebula suffers from a different ailment every time he appears. During the separation sequence for the Primate Avenger, Spydor's lack of thumbs results in many a Visual Pun, from him holding up a picture of a thumb to wearing a metal thumb that rises up when he turns a little crank. |
